Just a Page in the Book of Life...

So one day in the hospital, probably back in June, I mentioned to my mom that I wanted to have portraits taken.  Her response, "Really??".

She began googling "Cancer Photographers"...  She wanted someone to be able to really capture what I was going thru.  What happened is truly the result of a higher power.

She connected with a great photographer from Colorado that has a little boy with cancer, Jennifer Wyeth. After a quick email introducing me and wishing her son the best and wishing she lived in the Bay Area, she wrote back and said "Let me see what I can do..."    This Colorado mom sent out a message to her photography friends as well as her facebook friends.  That message reached Marielle Hayes right here in Oakland who wrote us that she would love to do the portraits when I was up for it.  After looking at her website Marielle Hayes Photography, we could not be more excited.

About a week ago we (Cody, Alexis and I) met with Marielle at Tilden Park in Oakland/Berkely for the photo shoot.  What an amazing photographer Marielle is...  Even more so, she is an amazing person and I am a better person for having met her.  One of my favorite all time people. 

Thank you Marielle for documenting my journey so beautifully....
